First Glutathione Shot: DONE!
46 replies · 💉 GLP-1 and peptide education · Oct 2026
Just ordered the Glutathione on Tuesday and it literally came in 1 DAY! 💨 Shipped Wednesday and got it from UPS this morning. I thought I might as well get the first shot over with it so waited after work to inject. Thankfully, it wasn’t bad at all! 🤭 I felt a slight sting when I first injected, but went REALLY slow and felt nothing the entire time after. Afterwards, I could feel that I've had a shot in that area and a small lump may be trying to form underneath my skin, but I just put an ice pack over it. Didn't burn at all or really hurt. (Hope this continues!) Next time, I'm using the same technique but different leg, ice pack on for a few minutes first. Thanks everyone for the info., encouragement to give it a try, and all the injection tips! 😊

Glad you had a great first injection wishing you many more. I just started mine not long ago
- Belle member
@member Are you used to the injections yet? 3 times a week is a lot to me, lol, but I’m going to do it.
- Belle member
@member not yet but as I am not sure I ever will but if the benefits are there I sure will do it
- Belle member
Did you put in top of thigh or outer thigh? Getting all the tips for when I bite the bullet and order. Took my 1st GHK-Cu last night and I had heard others say it was spicy. But I didn’t feel a thing. 👏 👏

Congratulations! I started glutathione a few months ago. I take 40 units a day. It does not work overnight, so be patient. I absolutely love the effects it gives after a couple of months on it.
- Belle member
@member Same!
- Belle member
@member Thats awesome! And yes, I used the top of my thigh. I was too scared to do stomach - plus it’s reserved for tirzepatide. 😁 I’ve been on tirzepatide for a year and I still have only done my stomach (I just rotate spots) - I’m a big if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it kinda’ person. 😆
- Belle member
@member. Thanks! And that’s great! 100 units today was a lot, and a super slow shot, lol, wish it was only 40 but I’d rather the three times a week though.
- Belle member
Congratulations! I hope it continues well for you!
- Belle member
@member mine didn’t hurt either.
- Belle member
@member I can’t take these much. I do about 60Units. But something is better than nothing!
- Belle member
@member PA-C Definitely!
- Belle member
@member Thank you. I do love doing T in my stomach. I always heard it hits faster there but don’t know if that’s true. I think I’ll order Gluta after I go through a cycle of GHK-Cu.
- Belle member
@member PA-C Great
- Belle member
@member yes. I started off at 100 units 3 time per week but my reaction to 100 units was far too spicy, itchy, and hot red welts. At 40 units, I have no reaction at all. And it comes out to the same amount over the course of a month.
- Belle member
@member I don’t know if that’s true but the stomach will always be my go-to for T!
- Belle member
@member I recently discussed with my provider that it always takes more than 2 days to feel suppression after my shot, I've always done it in the thigh & she suggested the abdomen since it's absorbed quicker. Next shot tomorrow, we'll see if it makes a difference 😉
- Belle member
@member. Oh cool! Good to know if I ever have any issues in the future! Thanks!
- Belle member
@member wishing you so much success as we seek the healthiest possible version of of ourselves
- Belle member
@member Good to know. Keep me posted please.
- Belle member
@member you are welcome. Just you do you, with your prescribers blessing of course. We are all on our own journey and must do what is right for each of us.
- Belle member
@member Thanks! You too! 🥰
- Belle member
Im the same way. No waiting for a certain day to start. Package received. Dose instructions understood. Shot administered
- Belle member
@member Nice! Hope it went well for you as well! I’m taking it again on Saturday and then I’m going to start my 3 days a week starting next Monday (Mon/Wed/Fri).
- Belle member
@member Lange Thanks! 😀 And thanks again for the tips!
- Belle member
@member you are very welcome!
- Belle member
It did go good. I started it a week ago. Same no spicy effects with my shot either. Maybe that has something to do with individual body chemistry cause I haven’t had any kind of shot reactions or spicy feeling with any of my peptides.
- Belle member
@member I’m starting to think it’s allergies. I don’t have reactions to every peptide, but I do to a couple. I’m going to start taking my allergy medicine an hour before any injection to see if it helps
- Belle member
@member Lange I think you right. Ive tried all the peptides now except the “beauty” ones. I can stay ugly that doesn’t bother me. None has given my a reaction or felt spicy
- Belle member
@member 😂😂
- Belle member
I’m so glad that your first shot of gluta wasn’t bad! Keep us updated with your results!
- Belle member
I am really glad you had a great experience. I took my 1st dose today as well. Sadly mine did not go as well. It gives me hope for the 2nd dose.
- Belle member
@member! Will do! 🙂
- Belle member
@member (Maggie) I'm sorry - I hope your next shot goes well!
- Belle member
@member ive never had any bad reactions from any tirzepatide shots either - ive never even had any side effects. So I agree, body chemistry may have something to do with it.
- Belle member
@member definitely!
- Belle member
i love love love gluta its one of my favorites by far!
- Belle member
@member know it will take time but I’m anxiously awaiting the results already! 😆

@member 💕💕💕💕

I just started Gluta this week. left shot out to room temp. I pinned in my “saddlebag” area. really slow. Was worried since KLOW gives me a reaction, not pain, but red welt and itching.
- Belle member
@member good job! It wasn’t so bad, right?
- Belle member
@member I'm 4 shots in and so far so good. I always feel that sting/spiciness when it starts to first go in but going VERY slow is definitely key! I always get a small lump under the skin that goes away Ina couple of days and swelling for the rest of that day but nothing major. Im going to continue to give it a try for at least 4 -6 months to see if I notice any results.
- Belle member
@member that’s smart to give it chance. 👍
- Belle member
I was very relieved that the Gluta was not what i expected. 2nd shot this morning,, slow, easy, room temp no pain… bump that went down within an hour or so.. Very glad. I know Gluta is important…
- Belle member
I had a horrible reaction to Klow. I had to stop. Intense radiation throughout my leg and huge lumps at injection site. Dr Taylor gave me advice on how I should inject but it was too painful. I still have a hard lump at one of my injection sites a month later.
